Who ever said it never rains in San Diego?!? Well, lucky for us the biggest storm of the season decided to hit on the day of the kids Jog a thon. I thought for sure it was going to be moved to another day, but the principal wanted to move forward with the event. I think she was hoping if we shortened the running time, we would be able to get both running races done before the rain hit.
Skylars class was Team BLUE. She was determined to beat her lap count from last year.
When the moms who put on the Jog a Thon said they were looking for a couple MCee's for the event. There was no questions, I was signing up Jake and Tyson for the job, and boy did they nail it. They were on the mic during the first wave hyping the kids up, making jokes, running laps, high fiving kids, giving the sponsors shout outs, just really making the event extra exciting. I can't tell you how many people came up to me and praised Jake's performance.
Skylar rocked it by running 22 laps in the 30 minutes they gave the kids.
Next it was the lower grades turn. I went into Madden's class to help get the kids ready to run, but they looked to have they under control.
Right as we were lining the kids up to take the to the track the rain started pouring down and the winds started kicking up. The principal had all the kids go into the MPR in hopes it would stop and told Jake and Tyson to entertain the crowd. Sadly the rain wasn't stopping and the kiddos weren't able to run, but they got a lot of laughs from the two coaches on stages and enjoyed smoothies. Lucky for Madden they are rescheduled to run next Friday morning.
